How to Use This Chart
- Match the ISO Grade – Determine your machine’s required ISO viscosity (e.g., ISO VG 46).
- Find the Manufacturer’s Brand – Locate your current oil brand in the chart.
- Choose an Equivalent – Cross-reference the same ISO grade across other brands to find a compatible alternative.
- Verify OEM Specs – Always confirm compatibility with your equipment manual before substitution.
Why Equivalents Matter
- Cost Savings: Allows you to choose from multiple suppliers without compromising quality.
- Reduced Downtime: Easy cross-reference helps you find replacements quickly when your usual brand is unavailable.
- System Efficiency: Equivalent oils maintain viscosity, lubricity, and oxidation resistance.
- Environmental Compliance: Some alternatives (like biodegradable fluids) offer eco-friendly performance for sensitive areas.
